Dem Bums – A Dodgers Blog

The Dodgers filled a hole in their rotation by signing left handed starter Chris Capuano to a two year, $10 million deal.  He had a rough season for the Mets last year where he went 11-12 with a 4.55 ERA.  His best season is six years away when he went 18-12 with the Brewers back in 2005.

Capuano did have some decent rates though.  He struck out 8.1 per nine innings and walked just 2.6.  His batting average against was .270 though and right handed hitters belted him hard with an .818 OPS against.  He also seemed to run out of gas because his second half was a little rougher then his first.  He did have a gem of a game on August 26 though.  He struck out 13 and gave up just two hits against the Braves in his first shutout since 2006.
